From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez
Barry Lopez (b. January 6, 1945 — d. December 25, 2020), was an American writer best known for his books on natural history and the environment. In recognition of Lopez’s lasting influence, fifty photographers donated a collection of prints in his honor, selected in relation to entries in the book Lopez authored, "Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape." The exhibition celebrates the pleasures to be found in the land and discovery to renew our connection to the places that inspire our memories, hopes, and desires.
